The smplayer and MPUI are just user interface of mplayer. But my linux mplayer's quite nice. The windows mplayer runs just not bad.

"It just works.."

MPlayer for Windows (2011-05-25)

2011-07-02

Pros:

Everything works, you don't get any better than that.

Cons:

None

Other Thoughts:

These are the programs that give Freeware a good name and if i ever used a program that should be in the category, "it just works" then this would top the lot.

A detailed review is impossible as it is very advanced but it does what they say it does so job done.
Don't let that put you off as they have achieved that rare combination of advanced and easy to use so it wont baffle you.

This is what WMP should be as it comes in full working order minus the "windows cannot play this file" crap that so amny have had to endure.

One point though is be patient when installing as it takes a few min and might look frozen for 30sec, don't cancel, let it run.

Its interface is clean and simple but again it gives you the option to add bits as you learn.
VLC is a good player, no doubt, but the interface can be hard to follow sometimes, a get the impression that these guys have really thought about this as it seems natural and easy to follow.
It might not be a big deal to some but its these little touches that make a big difference.

Not having to search for codecs is always welcome and its never failed to play anything ive thrown at it yet.
Video quality was good before i fiddled with it and now its so clear and smooth.

A know pretty much nothing about media players but a do know that my vidoe experience is more enjoyable now with little effort, thanks guys..

Other Thoughts:

I did download MP player to play movies for my sony bravia lcd as it doesn't support many movie formats. It is very good and movie quality is not just reproduced, it is exaggerated!

"Are you kidding me?"

by: Unknown Mouthpiece

Other Thoughts:

Let's see, my antivirus software says the executables you created are suspicious and you state that we should all ignore this and proceed with the install anyway. Should I also believe a burgler coming to my front door with a gun and smile saying go ahead and let me in, I won't hurt you. Are you freaking kidding me! If you're honest then produce code that won't set off any antivirus protection and I might believe you.
